    At least their economy will be better than Argentina.

    We can at least expect near the truth from the Spanish Government, unlike the lies from INDEC.

    My god, you're such an idiot. As if you can trust those stooges in the Spanish Government. Mr Guindos (ex Lehman Brothers) who intrudoced Spain to their worthless derivative. They are commited to austerity, meaning raising taxes, cut services you pay for and pay the zombie banks, meanwhile let the people eat cake, while useful idiots believe it's a good idea.

    Austerity is about not spending more money than you can pay back! Eventually, you get out of debt. Being in debt is bad!

    There, a simple lesson on economics in the real world, not the madhouse of many of the countries in South America.
